THE INFLUENCE OF FUEL COMPRESSIBILITY AND HEATING VALUE CHANGES ON INJECTION PARAMETERS

The paper briefly reviews the change of injection parameters when converting to methylfuel in diesel engine operation. Brief consideration is given to the effects that increased alcohol fuel compressibility, as well as its lower heating value, may have on fuelling, injection rate, injection pressure and injection duration.
